Dear Andy:
1) Download the PowerPoint (.PPT)
2) Right click on it, and choose "open with"
3) Follow the menus to open it with Oo Impress.
4) Then save the file as an .ODP for use with Open office.
5) This may contain embedded vectorial or executable content.
Occasionally this content is misinterpreted when converted. If this
shows as an issue, get back to me on the list. The file will then have
to be opened with Power Point, taken apart and the pieces saved
independently, then reconstructed in a combination of Oo Draw, Audacity,
UPlayer and Oo impress finally.
If there is video content, you can set that up in Windows media player
if you are on a Windows platform.
If you are running Linux (such as Fedora) you could look for Videolan or
Cinelerra. Videolan is likely enough. Cinelerra is very high end and I
have note seen a downloadable compiled RPM for it. It had to be compiled
before installation and use by the end users.

Just downloaded Open Office 3.3, it works fine, except there is no
audio; but am getting a message "PowerPoint Web App cannot play audio
or video in presentations. To play audio or video, open this
presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint."
The whole idea was to get away from Microsoft. can you help?
Thanks,
